This place is a sea of movies, music, games, and geeky merchandise!…read more This Movie Exchange is by far the largest I've been to and has an almost overwhelming amount of media to peruse. As with the other CD Exchanges, you're almost guaranteed to find whatever it is you're looking for and so much more. As a fan of martial arts movies, I really enjoy this location as their selection has consistently been better and varied than some of the other locations'. The trade off is that their game selection isn't as impressive. That's not to say that it isn't good, there is in fact a lot to look through, I've just found more hidden gems at other locations. Though I typically skip over the front part if the store during my visits, it is worth mentioning that there is a TON of music to go through and an impressive amount of memorabilia such as action figures and Funko Pop!s, posters, bags and shirts, and a lot more. Everything is fairly priced and there have been instances where I've paid less than what I would have elsewhere or online. If you're a movie buff looking for a quiet place to pass the time, you absolutely have to visit the Movie Exchange.

While the selection of books and movies is on the smaller side and leans more toward vintage finds than brand-new releases, we always leave with something great! On our last visit, we picked up three Disney VHS tapes and over 40 Magic cards at just 10 cents a piece. The lady at the register was so kind--she even gave us a free plastic deck box for the cards! At checkout, there's also a fun setup of enamel pins, cute figurines, and knickknacks to check out. It's definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area--you might just find a neat hidden treasure!

Once again Fernanda put together a smooth running event. I do love this event…read more I shop here regularly. So, the opportunity to come & show them more love is okay by me. Their volunteers are always so helpful & knowledgeable. Its why I come back. Well, & the books. I came this time wanting cookbooks. I hadn't ever looked at their selection before. I collect vintage cookbooks, (yes, I use them too. ), I was happy to see the selection they had. I'll be back to look. Definitely adding this area to my focus. Right around the corner from the cookbooks are the vintage books. Well, they had this wonderful little Dick Tracy book. I knew it was coming home with me. Then, when I went to psy they were going to give me the Dick Tracy one. I told them no, I wanted to pay for it, it gives them the money. Isn't that the point!?

The selection is really impressive, especially if you're into Texas history, local authors, antique books, or those special finds you don't usually come across at bigger bookstores - and at a great price. and I could've easily spent way more time browsing - it's well organized and fun to explore without feeling overwhelming. The staff truly made the visit even better. Everyone was kind, patient, and genuinely happy to help or just chat, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and personal.

We are here all the time…read more My fiancé have a number of game shops that we like to visit, but this is one of those that's at the top of the list. We find something every time we visit, and we'll find some gems more often than not. The store is organized super intuitively so we'll find what we're looking for with minimal effort, and if it's not in store the incredibly amazing staff will see if it's at another location for us. This location is also pretty game focused, so if you're looking for a wider selection of merch another location may be more suited for your needs. They do have some good merch, it's just not as much as some of the other locations. That being said, we've found some really cool collectibles here like gaming statues that are just too spectacular to pass up. I will be the first to admit that we look for every excuse to visit Game Over. Zero shame. This place rocks.

I'm officially in love with this chain of stores! Stopped in at one of their San Antonio locations…read more(though I am an Austinite), and I was really impressed particularly by the selection this one boasted. To an extent I realize this is based off what gets brought in by customers looking to sell, but the organization of this store was also top-notch. In addition to ATARI 2600 cartridges, there were a few select Commodore 64 and Intellivision cartridges; on the opposite side of the spectrum, they had a decent wall of PS4 and Xbox One. So practically no matter what generation console games you're looking for, you'll find it here! Loads of games for handhelds as well, including GameGear, PSP, and all the Nintendo handhelds. You'll also find some neat modern "gamer gear" like hats, wallets/lanyards, plushies, etc. Some old guidebooks and manuals. And a fridge full of beverages. This location has a console museum too, where you can step through time and admire how far video game technology has come! Some really obscure consoles in the glass cases, with descriptions of each. So rad! *w* There's also an Artist's Alley toward the back, where you can support local artists who do video game related art. I love seeing all the creativity and how gamers get inspired! I did come in to do an exchange, because one of the ATARI 2600 cartridges I'd gotten from another location turned out to be a dud. The employee, Jake, was cool about it and happily supplied me another copy they had in inventory. Gotta give him some props- he's an excellent multi-tasker. When I came in, it was pretty busy and he was the only one there, but he did great at attending to everyone and cheerfully at that, even with the phone ringing too! This location doesn't have a set-up to test/demo anything in the store (some Game Over Videogames do), but they did seem to have a backroom area where you could schedule to host a party/meet-up, and that's pretty neat.

Or if you think of a movie that you haven't seen in a while, do the same! If you aren't in the mood to browse, this way is much better. I did this for "Gone With The Wind" one day and I was in and out in two minutes. WAALA! However, if you want to browse, this place has an upstairs and downstairs packed with used CD's and DVD's. The prices are fairly reasonable. Used CD and DVD stores are probably going out of business because of Amazon and Ebay but let's hope this one sticks around for a while for the "get it now" instead of "buy it now" factor. P.S. I am a damn Yankee, so I am not a huge fan of Gone with The Wind. :) Oh Scarlett.

Even though it's slightly smaller than some of the other locations, there's a ton to see in store. While the book selection is good, they have a hefty selection of movies, games, music, and collectibles to peruse through as well. It's pretty easy to find things in the store, but there's staff readily available to help if you're having trouble finding something. Give this place a go the next time you're looking for a summer read or something for school!
